It’s been a bit of a frenzied two years for Dansez!Dansez! owner Sabine Philippe.
The dance studio was forced out of its Fairmont Avenue location in February 2012 because of structural damage to its building caused by next door construction. Philippe scrambled to find a nearby space at 8020 Norfolk Ave., but did so knowing the smaller space probably wasn’t a permanent solution.
On May 1, Philippe will move the studio to 4907 Rugby Avenue, where she hopes a 2,300-square-feet studio with free parking will mean some stability.
The studio will join Tough Temple CrossFit in the shuttered Allied Rental warehouse.
“It’s a really beautiful space that has free parking,” Philippe said. “That’s a key thing for Bethesda.”
The studio has been around for 10 years, offering a variety of dance genres in seminars, workshops and classes.
